The best brake controller for your 2019 Ford E-450 Cutaway is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller item # RED44FR. The Tow-Pro Elite is very similar in design to a factory trailer brake controller. There is a control box that gets installed under the dash, out of sight and then a control knob that gets mounted on your dash wherever you prefer. This will provide a very clean look and will allow you to mount it in many different locations whereas a standard brake controller will need to be in a certain position/angle. The other nice feature of this brake controller is that you can switch between proportional and a user-controlled mode which gives you more control of the trailer's brakes. I am not aware of any other brake controller that can do this.
The correct plug-in harness (if present) you will need to use is the Redarc Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers item # 331-TPH-005. The plug-in harness will be located either behind the coin tray in the dash or up under the driver side dash near the emergency brake pedal. If it's behind the coin try then you need to remove this in order to find the plug but if it's under the dash then you should not need to remove anything.
